Air Hockey

[ClayWall]

My grade 10 final project. I know the physics could be better. Also there could be music but I couldn't upload it. Any help or changes would be awesome.

looks very well done and clean... a few problems though. the balls dont bounce off each other properly, and the time goes by way to slow... it says each round lasts a minute but its more like 3. try using something like:

code:

var t1 : int := 10000 var t2 : int %other code here t2 := Time.Elapsed loop     exit when t1 - (Time.Elapsed - t2) <= 0     locate (1, 1)     put (t1 - (Time.Elapsed - t2)) / 1000 end loop cls put 0

also having to refresh everytime someone scores is annoying...

other than those 3 things, its very well done

how about this for a project?

[zylum]

that's cool though it starts to suck around 2 minutes into the video.

[Tony]

yeah, it's not very good... the logic bottlenecks in webcam's capture speed and a bunch of other places...

though it's cool anyways

Here's Air Hockey again with faster time. I didn't do it the way you suggested zelum because I couldn't figure out how to work it in, but change it to work that way and repost it if you want.

wow i like it! nice program good colision detection, and runs smooth as a whistle(lack of a better term)

[ClayWall]

Hey thanks, I'll keep working on it to try and make it even better. If there's any ideas I'd like to know.

awsome game but can u actualy win? In the future try to tone down the AI - its invincible!

[basketball4ever]

i found the game really good
although... u can only go at a certain angle either towards the top or towards the bottom when hitting the puck... this lowers nearly all chances of scoring... theres like only 2 spots u can actually hit it right... into a wall and in... i think the game should be faster.... that makes it easier to score, harder to defend

I like teh game
GJ
but use whatdotcolor to detect collusions instead
'cause sometimes, the puck turns before teh computer or me even hit it.
But ya nice game
btw
just our of curiousity, what did u get on teh project?

No! Using the radii of the two circles is the way to go.

im guessing the puck turns b4 it hits u or the comp bc if the speed of it is going to fast, when you add the vx and the vy to the puck it would have gone thru the player, so it changes it b4 that happens

[ssr]

I like whatdotcolor better 'cause its easier..
I dont think its the speed of the puck, 'cause I changed the speed, and it still happens sometimes

[Bacchus]

ya whatdotcolor may be easier, but not as good. using ditance you can find out if they hit at an angle, its kinda hard to do a permimeter check with watdotcolor
